yes it is.  The Diablo is a pain, but the Lj emulation switch is fairly easy.
the PSEXEC program does the switch beautifully.  I use it all the time.  I wrote
the guts of the emulation switching for it.  There are several files that
are downloaded by the PSEXEC.  if you look at all the text files, you
will find the needed code. Look for the *.prt files. Someone else wrote
the outer skeleton and wrapped some stuff around the core routines,
try this:  It is NOT complete really.  There are several other things that
need to be done for this to really work well

serverdict begin statusdict begin hplj
serverdict begin statusdict begin hpgl  %hp GL emulation 

^D drops you back to PS.  in some of the newer versions, there exist
exechplj and exechpgl  commands, as well.

I have *NEVER* gotten the r option in readnews to work without bouncing
me off the mailer daemon, so you are not alone in your troubles with
mail stuff

cheers
